Twins times two

Yes! A second post!

Meet the twins we have all been praying for! I was blessed enough to meet them on day one and how stinking handsome they are! Now I'm not sure if they are identical yet, but it was very hard to tell them apart.

Here they are:

Asher Silus and Aiden John 5.7 and 5.4 pounds respectively.

Asher:

Aiden:

Preacher C's mom holding Aiden:

Me hanging out with the other boys Dathan and Cooper (aka Preacher C)... The boys gang is complete! (for now;-)

So, all this time we've been praying hard for these little guys and they are here, healthy as can be. Happy May 4th... Or as the Boys dad would say "May the 4th be with you!"

Room reveal

I confess...

Dathans been sleeping in Makenzie's room she had before she moved out, it was bubble gum pink. Two and a half months later he finally got a more boy appropriate room! (someday his wife will thank me for helping him get in touch with his sensitive side, right?)

The before:

Why, yes that is a TV in his room... We didn't know where to put it after moving rooms around. It's so big we just left it until we could figure out where to put it. Ha! It currently sits in our bathroom waiting to go downstairs... Drew's always dreamed of a TV in the bathroom, now if only he could fit in there with it.

The during:

My awesome brother! Yeah he's also a firefighter in the Air Force , so he checked all our smoke alarms too.

We had to take breaks to hang out with the little guy. Most of the day Dathan spent with his Nonna and Opa, made for a much quicker work day!

The after:

Still some work to be done, but looks much better!

Twins

A few weeks ago we had a baby shower for my friend... She's having twins.

Jordyn had been put on hospital bed rest back in February, a week before D was born. She spent 80 days in the hospital and was sent home with the twins healthy, still inside her belly. With lots of prayer and modern medicine both boys are bigger than 5lbs and looking very strong. Also neither of them are budging! So miss J is scheduled for a C-section this Friday! This is a quick update, I know a few of you had jordyn in your prayers these past few weeks!

So the theme of the baby shower was Dr. Seuss, Thing 1 and Thing 2. How appropriate for twins! Her friend Jess was in charge of logistics- like the who, what, where, when stuff! She is super organized and not a procrastinator like me. I was in charge of the artsy stuff. Now, I've got some artistic ability but the truth is I'm an excellent delegator. So in true Amanda fashion I recruited some other artsy types. I got my sister Arielle and sister-in-love Korinne. Arielle is like me though, she did some of the artsy stuff... But by the end we were just "supervising" Korinne, ok more like eating the leftovers and telling stories. In short the shower was a hit, held in the hospital but ohhhh so cute!
